It's the M6C from Halo 2 with a silencer and a HUD-uploaded scope. It's NOT the pistol from HaloCE.

In terms of the fiction that would be correct, but if you consider how it plays this pistol is more akin to the original variant than the spastic version from Halo 2.

Correct. But, here's an easier way to say it: It's the H2 Pistol on roids.

What part of...

Bungie: The M6D was a broken, unbalanced weapon...

...did you not understand? So they put a scope on the M6C from Halo 2, and it acts differently than the M6D from HCE? Hell, you can 1-shot grunts with the M6G in Halo 3...doesn't exactly mean it's like the M6D either. Actually the M6G is the antithesis of the M6D.

Mr. Staten knows how to build hype. He's a writer. It's what he does. To think that Bungie would ever go back to a severely unbalanced weapon like the M6D after they have moved away from it in 2 games is a little beyond reason.

The pistol in ODST will act like the M6C from Halo 2 but have a scope. That's the only thing it shares with the M6D.

Not really. Not like it will be in MM anyways, but you can 1-shot Grunts with the M6G in Halo 3. I very much doubt that the ODST M6C will have anywhere near the firepower that the M6D had in HCE. It seemed like it had the quicker RoF like the H2 M6C did as well.

To me the CE pistol is a mini BR, whats wrong with that? Nothing.
Why? Its in campaign.

So in that you can't say that it will actually act like the M6C because its roll in the game will be significantly different from that it "originally" was. Instead of some fallback or dual wieldable weapon used to augment a plasma rifle or pistol, it will be a stand alone, medium ranged, weapon like the Halo 1 pistol only with a marginally higher rate of fire.

Actually, the BR is a mini M6D. Since the M6D does more damage, fires quicker, has a larger clip, kills quicker, carries more ammo.

Which coincidentally is why it is a broken weapon.

It was fine in HCE because they didn't have a big enough weapon sandbox so they made it past with 1 weapon. Thankfully in the subsequent games the role of that 1 weapon has been downplayed so it's not the same thing over and over and over.

$.50 in store credit.

Basically, it is the Halo CE pistol with the Halo 2 magnum strength.

I'd imagine the use it will see in ODST has more to do with those nice muzzle suppressors on the side of the barrel and less to do with how it compares to a broken weapon from a previous game. It will be a "stand alone" weapon merely in the fact that it now is a silenced middle range weapon for when you don't want to alarm a group of enemies.

Again, I seriously doubt that the ODST M6C will be anything like the M6D and marginally better than the M6C was in Halo 2.
